Very little is known about Winifred Boggs’ personal life. She was recorded in the 1911 census living with her mother and two unmarried sisters in Ormskirk, her profession given as Novelist. By 1920 she was living in a flat in Belsize Park in London and in the same year attended two literary dinners there, a 'Novelist’s Dinner' and a 'War Writer’s Dinner'. In an interview in 1921 she said that she got her best ideas while lying in the bath and that her interests were bridge and tennis.

Winifred Boggs died of a cerebral aneurysm in Hampstead on 16 November 1931 aged 57.
